FULLER, The Rev. Willard
(Investigator Magazine 227, 2026 March)
Certainly one of the strangest of psychic powers must be the ability to
painlessly fill tooth cavities, straighten teeth and perform other
dental miracles.
The Rev. Willard Fuller claims to have enabled thousands through his world-wide ministry to have their teeth healed and has produced wonders such as cavities filled with precious metals, porcelain fillings replaced with gold and caused new teeth to grow. Brother Willard visited Australia in March 1986 and attracted a large audience at the Town Hall at Chatswood where he performed his miracles. As people filed past Brother Willard and his wife, they tapped everyone on their heads saying, “In the name of Jesus be every whit whole.” On inspecting mouths for signs that healing had started Willard claimed to have found evidence to that effect. Comment:
No credence whatsoever can be had in the claims made by Fuller. Where
they have been checked there has been no evidence of any change in
existing teeth or fillings or the appearance of new teeth. While in
Australia Fuller was charged with practislng dentistry without a licence
